Elite Jet Biodegradable MTB Water Bottle

The Jet Biodegradable MTB Water Bottle from Elite is a new biodegradable bottle made from food grade squeezable polyethylene that’s available in various sizes to suit your specific needs. The Jet combines the best in quality and performance of the most appreciated Elite bottles such as lightness, copious liquid flow and tasteless nozzle, all the while integrating the use of biodegradable plastic material to lessen the environmental impact of the bottle.

• Perfect for gravel, MTB or even the commute, the Jet MTB offers a high-quality environmentally friendly bidon with an added cover for less than immaculate conditions
• High flow valve, originally used on the Fly, delivers fluid almost twice as fast as the previous Corsa design
• Body of the bottle is thicker than the Fly and more robust for daily use but still competitively light and easy to squeeze
• Integrated blow-off valve feature greatly reduces the chance of a dropped bottle taking down a rider, making this a safer option for racing, sportive’s or group rides
• 100% biodegradable, entire bottle, including the cap is compostable and will return to the elements once buried in earth thanks to the corn - rather than oil - based plastic
• Dishwasher safe and BPA-free

The Jet bottle meets these requirements as it reduces the time it takes for the bottle to break down once it enters the regular industrial composting cycles, thus becoming one of the most innovative alternatives to traditional non-biodegradable plastic bottles. 

The plastic material used to create the Jet is treated with a special bio additive that makes the microorganisms responsible for the biodegradation of materials attack the polymeric chain of the plastic. This process significantly reduces the time it takes for the bottle to break down (3 months to 5 years). This is something that regular plastic products cannot do (they usually take 100 to 1000 years to decompose).
